I realize this is three pages back! but I have this device, and would gladly shell out the dough for an HDMI->VGA converter (I know to get one with circuitry!) if I could run Puppy (PupPi?) on it. The concern for me is graphics -- the CX-01 has a "Mali400" graphics processor integrated into its SoC, and I don't believe that the open-source Lima driver works on it yet (will check shortly).

If anyone out there has run Puppy/PupPi on a CX-01 successfully, please let me know!_________________

To buy a new cable is not expensive but few stores have this special

This little cable lives up to it's name. Works fine on a rooted Nexus 7 combined with stickmount app to add much needed USB storage to the tablet. You can't go wrong for $6.00 free shipping. You just have to wait two weeks for it to get here from Hong Kong.

I have followed with great interest the subject of the cheap, small arm devices. They have proliferated like mad, and I was wondering what the best sources of info are on them - like what are the best sites to read up on the latest items. I am tired of find a reference to a great, new product only to find the related article is 18 months old. Don570 seems to be in the know here, but anyone else please give your input also!

I am looking for a computer or card that is portable and can be paired with a small display like a "lapdock" for web browsing, torrents, and other downloads and can also be used to play video at home - like movies and such. So having a card that can run off a battery, run linux, and have a high resolution video output would be nice. Is it possible to run 4K video out of some of these things?
